    paul2009 got a reaction from AlexJD in How to add a Forum to my Squarespace Site   
    Squarespace do not offer a forum feature for their websites or Member Sites at this time. However, there are a range of third party forum platforms available. 
    For example, Squarespace built this forum using Invision Community using a subdomain ("forum.") of their main URL.
    You can also use a third party service like this to create a forum using a subdomain of domain you use for your Squarespace website. There are many other third party forum providers including Discourse and Flarum.
    Squarespace doesn’t use this forum to track demand for new features or to accept feature requests so if you'd like to request a forum feature, you are encouraged to raise a ticket through Squarespace Customer Support 🙂.

    @BabbR @conrad1956 I see this issue on your site and I believe it is due to a Squarespace bug that affects some sidewide animations. Try disabling them to see if this resolves the issue.

    paul2009 reacted to raeroshow in Connecting Square POS with Squarespace   
    @paul2009 Thank you so much. "You need to select one or the other for your inventory management. " - that right there is the key. Also, thank you for explaining the difference between Square POS and just a square reader - I was using those interchangeably not knowing there was this big difference. 
    Thanks for the clarification. I bookmarked your other post for the future, as this is sure to come up again!
    Best,

    paul2009 got a reaction from raeroshow in Squarespace & Square POS   
    As expected, there is quite a lot of confusion about the Point of Sale services provided by Squarespace, especially as they partnered with Square - a major player in the point of sale payments market. The company names are just too similar!
    To ensure everyone is on the same page, I'll try to clarify some of the areas where others have been confused.
     
    Square isn't Squarespace
    Firstly, it's important to remember that Squarespace and Square are completely separate companies. They are not connected, and neither are their ecommerce platforms. You need to select one or the other for your inventory management. You cannot link or sync them directly, although you can pay additional monthly fees for third party 'sync' services.
     
    Availability
    The options available to you will depend on your location.
    Squarespace POS is currently only available in the USA. You cannot use it in Canada (or anywhere else) yet.
    Square POS is available in many more countries.
     
    Moving from Online to In-Person
    If you are based in the USA and have been using a Squarespace Commerce plan to sell online, you can now sell in-person too, using the same Squarespace platform. To do this, you need a newish iPhone, iPad or Android phone that is capable of running a recent version of the Squarespace Commerce App (you'll find specific App version details in this support article). You'll also need to open a Square account for in-person payment processing and purchase a specific type of card reader (you cannot use fancy Square registers).
    If you are based outside the USA and are selling online with Squarespace, there is unlikely to be a Squarespace-only option available before 2025. 
     
    Moving from In-Person to Online
    If you are based in the USA and are using Square for in-person sales then you have two options available to help you move online:
    You can build an average Square Online Store and start selling online really quickly. Square will sync inventory between your POS and your Square Online Store if you create it using the "online store" option within your existing Square account. You can build a beautiful Squarespace store and then transition your inventory off Square and onto Squarespace. Once complete, you can use Squarespace for both online and in-person sales. If you are outside the USA and you currently using Square for in-person sales then your options are:
    1. You can build an average Square Online Store (as described above) for your online sales.
    2. You can build a beautiful new Squarespace store for your online prescene and then purchase a third-party solution to bridge the gap between the two different inventory systems. Bear in mind that there will be additional costs to use a inventory-sync service such as Trunk Inventory or SKU IQ.
    I hope this helps.

    paul2009 got a reaction from raeroshow in Connecting Square POS with Squarespace   
    I think the confusion comes from the fact that the company "Square" and their solution, "Square POS", share the same name. I tried to clear this up in my post called Why is Squarespace POS so confusing?
    First, let me try to clarify what I said above when I stated "Square POS can't integrate directly with Squarespace Commerce". The point of sale system called "Square POS" (which includes fancy hardware like Registers and software for inventory management) cannot integrate directly with Squarespace Commerce. 
    However, you can buy a simple piece of Square hardware called a card reader (not their Register) and use this to read cards and take payments through the Squarespace App, that will then be recorded on Squarespace, not on Square POS. However, that is the extent of the integration.
    This means that you can use "Square", the company, to process payments, but you cannot use "Square POS" with Squarespace. At least not unless you want to run two independent inventory and payment systems and try to sync stock levels with a third party service.
    Sorry if that makes it more confusing!

    The screenshot above is from a site of mine and it uses an integration from Lodgify (see my earlier post). As your requirement is bespoke (I don't know anyone using the reserva-online platform), you'll probably want to hire someone to write a custom solution (including JavaScript, HTML and CSS) to generate the URL query and then action it.

    To modify the font on the Event List page, you can use this:
    .eventlist-column-info .eventlist-title, .eventitem .eventlist-title { font-family: 'Raleway'; font-style: normal; } The 'font-style: normal' is only required if you want to remove the italic style that is currently set.

    paul2009 got a reaction from Kfridge in Expanding accordion causes images to zoom in   
    This is a "feature" of the Fluid Engine grid and it is because of the way that the rows must expand to allow the Accordion Block to expand.
    One workaround is to adjust the height or position of Blocks. For example, if the Accordion Block is the same height as the Image Block, when the accordion expands, all the grid rows will expand, making the Image Block stretch too.

    However, as shown above, if the Accordion Block is expanded one row below the Image Block, when the accordion expands, this otherwise unoccupied row will expand, leaving the Image Block unaffected.
    Another workaround is to set the image to Fit instead of Fill.

    I hope these workarounds help.

    paul2009 reacted to dross in So tired of spacing inconsistencies in fluid engine!!!! Need help   
    Thank you for your explanation. Going back and looking at my own screenshots I can see what's happening. I'm not sure why I didn't catch it, but thanks to your explanation I can see it now. Unfortunately, my website has over 100 pages and it is complete, so there's absolutely no chance that I'm going to go back and switch everything back to classic. Not to mention, I have zero faith that Squarespace won't get rid of classic at some point. It's a damn shame that this information wasn't presented ahead of time, or that Squarespace didn't highlight the pros and cons of using 7.0 and 7.1. Sorry for the rant, but it's frustrating knowing that this is just something I'm going to have to live with. Thank you again for providing the clarification though.

    paul2009 got a reaction from schmutzie in How do I find and edit my robots.txt file?   
    @Chiara1234 I believe you have misunderstood the message from Google.
    Squarespace is not blocking Google from indexing your blog posts. Google is indexing your blog but Squarespace is correctly preventing Google from indexing the category links on your blog page, for example /blog/category/Reviews.
    This link leads to duplicate content (the same blog posts that have already been indexed individually) and so this link should not be indexed, as I mentioned in my answer above.

    Fluid Engine can be great for innovative layouts for, but a classic layout like this, you are better off using a “Classic” section instead. All your text can then be placed in a single Text Box, giving consistency for all spacing, and your Image Boxes can be dragged into place. You’ll find “Classic” sections at the very bottom of the list when adding a new section.

    It is not currently (February 2024) possible to enable recurring donations through the Squarespace checkout but I'm hopeful that this will be added as there's lots of demand for this. In the meantime, you'll need to embed a third party service such as donorbox. They support daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual recurring donations.
